Lexus has been an incredible success story for Toyota since its introduction more than 20 years ago, when the outstanding LS400 luxury sedan not only dared to challenge the European luxury models, it kicked sand in their grilles in the process.
Since then there has been a succession of great and somewhat great vehicles from Lexus as the brand expanded to fill new luxury niches. That evolution added the IS and GS rear drive sedans to the mix (so far), the SC coupe, a series of SUV's – and the front drive ES and HS hybrid.
